🌟 From Struggling Waitress to Oscar Winner: The Rise of Halle Berry
Before the red carpets, designer gowns, and historic Oscar win, Halle Berry was just trying to survive.
In her early 20s, Halle moved to New York City to pursue acting, but the city didn’t welcome her with open arms. She ran out of money quickly and ended up living in a homeless shelter. “My mom said if I wanted to be there, I had to work it out,” Berry once shared. And she did.
With persistence and hustle, Halle landed modeling gigs and bit parts, eventually breaking through with roles in Jungle Fever and Boomerang. She kept climbing until 2002, when she became the first Black woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress for Monster’s Ball.
She didn’t just break barriers—she smashed them.
